Like so many other things, it's best to start this project at the bottom. After removing the battery, you'll go about removing screws from the camera's chassis, including these three on the bottom plate.

Once you've removed enough screws, the bottom and back panels can be pulled back. So what's underneath? A whole mess of ribbon cables.

For starters you'll have to detach these five ribbons that are connected to the motherboard.

After a little spudger action and disconnection of cables from the surrounding circuitry, the copper plate underneath it all is revealed. The copper plate is likely for heat dissipation.

Attached to the other side of the copper plate is the X30's 12MP, 2/3"-type sensor. Lifting it out of the way reveals the lens.

With a few screws removed the motherboard can be tilted upward. To completely remove it you'll need to desolder the black, grey and red wires seen here.

Working with the flash capacitor requires some careful maneuvering. As the circuits store charge to power the flash unit, touching the leads at the bottom of the circuit could result in a nasty shock. More desoldering is required here to get this board free.
